X-Men '97 is one of those shows where I don't even know what that "Skip Intro" button is doing there.

The best search engine on the internet isn't Google. If you want to know anything about anything, make a video or social media post phrasing it as a rhetorical question in the context of expressing an opinion or making a larger point, and in minutes you'll be buried in answers.

Batman & Robin with Patrick Stewart as Mr. Freeze, but keep Schwarzenegger's dialogue. Imagine lines like "Stay cool, bird boy!" or "What killed the dinosaurs? THE ICE AGE!" spoken in the voice of Professor Charles Xavier, and that movie is instantly at least 50% better.

Sometimes contrarianism is the best response, I feel.

Transphobes whine about TDOV falling on Easter? NOW IT'S EASTER EVERY YEAR FUCK YOU.

Fanboys complain about too many women, POC or queer characters in movies or games? THE NEXT ONE HAS NO STRAIGHT WHITE MEN AT ALL FUCK YOU.

When the pedantic literalism is so strong it almost outweighs the callous ableism.

Disabled people exist in fiction (including fantasy) because THEY EXIST IN THE REAL WORLD. A good story is about more than what it is literally about, you fucking numbskulls.

If the mere existence of a disabled person in a fantasy setting (or a sci-fi setting or whatever) is enough to break your precious immersion, congratulations, you're not only an insufferable pedant with one-dimensional reading comprehension, you're also a prejudiced asshole.

The article argues pretty persuasively that Snyder is full of shit here, but even if more people somehow saw Rebel Moon than Barbie, what does it matter? Barbie was a legit cultural phenomenon, while the impact of Great Value Star Wars was fucking ZERO. https://www.avclub.com/rebel-moon-barbie-more-people-zack-snyder-1851317028

You all, someone in my YouTube comments with a bunch of numbers at the end of their username just told me they've seen a copy of Obama's real birth certificate and the Birthers were right! I'm starting to rethink this whole thing . . .

Hamas are terrorist pieces of shit who exploit and endanger civilians for their own brutal purposes, but "therefore the IDF should be allowed to kill whoever they want" is not an acceptable conclusion no matter how you get there.

I'm enjoying my annual Christmas watch of Batman Returns, the movie that ends with the villain attempting to destroy Gotham using an army of penguins with little rocket launchers on their backs. Or as it was called at the time of its release, "The one that was too dark."

I am delighted to inform you that I just got called an "Atheism+ feminist" in a comment on a video I posted yesterday.

The fact that over ten years ago a small group of atheists suggested that we should address the misogyny, racism, Islamophobia, and queerphobia that was rampant in our community, and some assholes are STILL MAD ABOUT IT, warms my heart.

"I wish you would separate your Star Trek/pop culture content from your political content."

And I wish you would fuck off and watch someone else's YouTube channel. Let's see who gets their wish.

Most people who half pay attention to my opinions on Star Trek know I'm not a fan of Lower Decks. But, if you're upset about a character in the new episode wearing a hijab, take a moment to reflect on two things: 1) Representation matters, and 2) You can go fuck yourself.

This, this, this, 1000x this. Story should come first, always. Shared universes, canon, whatever you want to call it, should be a bonus feature, not the primary reason the stories exist.

My best friend is living with heart failure and needs some help with paying the bills and keeping the lights on, so anything you can spare would be greatly appreciated! If you can't donate, please consider sharing the link. Thanks! https://gofund.me/f8631dfb
